August 2015 creation!

Hello my beautiful people!!!


I missed my tribe here to be honest! :D This month has been super crazyyyyy!

I moved places in London and I am writing you from my new flat at the moment which is very cozy and sweet! hihi :D 


My creation for this month is something different! You all know I studied classical Piano and I wanted to show you this part of me this time. Actually this creation was supposed to be the July creation but last minute I changed my mind and decided to record "Calling you" which you already listened to. :) The video I posted this time is again secret and you need a password in order to watch it. The password is "Hellenasecret". If you have any problems watching it please let me know. Also the song on the video is instrumental so I decided to record the vocals in my mini studio for it as well and the secret link for the song with vocals is: https://soundcloud.com/hellenamusic/hellena-fighting-with-myself-demo/s-5jhNS


The reason I posted two versions of "Fighting with myself" (instrumental and with vocals) is because I am not sure if I prefer the song with or without vocals to be honest. I think it works well as instrumental but that is maybe something you can help me with since I am thinking to include it in my debut album? Let me know which version you prefer ;)

I wrote this song about 3 years ago. I was a bit lost and frustrated as you can tell from the lyrics I guess. Showing our vulnerability isn't a bad thing though, right? We're just humans anyway! heh I started talking a lot...AGAIN!


Enjoy this creation my friends! Mike was in charge of this beautiful piano recording and you can see him in the video too! :D


P.S. This Monday the 24th I am going on vacation for three weeks to see my friends and family in Greece plus I have been booked for a gig in Spain in early September and I am super excited!! I am going to miss you all so much but I am going to stay in touch as much as possible!


Hugs and Love to you all! X

Your little Greekita :D

Mike Partington That's a good call I meant to mention, the lyrical offering here heightens the emotion & intensity of the composition! Think it was right to present the demo without any additional instrumentation as a stripped back version is always easier to comprehend on the initial listen before you build the song into a more powerful entity!😉

Jazzy Burg both versions are really good Helena <3 I love them :)

Héllena Thank you sweetie!!!! Xx

Mike If the instrumental version wasn't haunting enough, with your lovely emotive voice in the other version you captured the mood beautifully! It's amazing on SO many levels, and glad we got to hear such a masterpiece x
